When I run 'sudo guix package --list-generations' on a foreign distro
I get a list of all the profiles for all the users, not just for root.
When I run 'sudo guix package --list-generations' on Guix System I get:
guix package: error: profile '/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile' does not exist
1: it probably shouldn't error if the default profile doesn't exist
2: I like the idea of root being able to, say, clean up all the profiles
over a certain age (ie.: guix package --delete-generations 6m). On the
other hand it is unexpected behavior since root is "just another user"

It's complicated on foreign distros, since they vary in how they
configure sudo, and since Guix is really based on login environments.
I think it's correct that you'd see your own user's generations. Doing
`sudo foo` doesn't totally change your user from Guix's point of view,
just your privilege level. You'd need `sudo --login` to become root.
Try `env`, `sudo env`, `sudo --login env`...
It's definitely not expected to see all the users' generations, though
(I can't reproduce that).
Exactly how it works on the foreign distro will probably vary by distro
and setup, however. `sudo guix ...` doesn't work at all on my Debian; it
fails with "sudo: guix: command not found" and I have to use `sudo
--login`.

Looks like I messsed up the bug report completely and mixed up
--list-profiles and --list-generations.
If anyone is curious, when run as root, 'guix package --list-profiles'
on Guix system and on a foreign distro, for me, return a list of all the
profiles of all the users.

Can you share the exact command you run and the result of `env` with
that sudo invocation? For example, if you are doing `sudo guix package
--list-profiles`, the result of `sudo env`? Having sanitized it as
necessary...

This time I ran it as root directly
On my kids' computer:
root@E2140 /home/efraim# guix package --list-profiles
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/efraim/current-guix
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/efraim/guix-profile
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/kids/current-guix
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/kids/guix-profileo
Guix on Debian, also directly as root:
debian-box:/home/efraimf# guix package --list-profiles | tail -n20
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/user1/current-guix
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/user1/guix-profile
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/user2/guix-profile
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/user3/current-guix
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/user3/guix-profile
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/user4/current-guix
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/user4/guix-profile
